No one worked harder or was a better character guy than Keith Pinckney, but he struggled all year as a freshman after coming in as a touted recruit for Ed Conroy at a position where previous freshman excelled. I got so down on his on-court play that one of his teammates' mothers admonished me on twitter.
I certainly thought he could still develop into a good player, but his ball-handling skills were weak for a point guard and Tulane has a ton of depth in the backcourt anyway. He is the third player to leave after the season and the only one who had really any shot to crack the rotation next year, although he probably saw the writing on the wall about his limited future.
HIs departure leaves Tulane with one available scholarship, contrary to what I posted on another thread before he left as I've apparently lost the ability to count this week.
